White Dot Skis


We’ve launched an Industry Partner Program for ski professionals and the wider ski industry

Whitedot has just launched their ‘Industry Partner Programme’. This initiative has been prompted by the growing requirement of Whitedot to satisfy the demand by mountain professionals needing freeride skis as part of their winter equipment. Freeride skis are now the norm for ski instructors, ski guides, ski patrol and other ski professionals. Whitedot wants to do more than offer a ‘pro-deal’ for those who need it. We want to go further and develop a community of industry professionals to help each other in their ski exploits!

For ski instructors, the ‘all-mountain’ element of freeride skis are at such a  performance level that they are now equally at home ‘on-piste’ as well as ‘off-piste’. In addition their clients expect their instructors to reflect the growing trend of freeride. For ski guides, some clients remain focused on vertical gain, for others it is about the freeride descent experience. Therefore ski guides are choosing to widen their ski equipment to adapt to clients’ needs.

Whitedot has always tried to facilitate ‘pro-deals’ for winter professionals and where applicable the wider ski community. And as Whitedot has grown and its reach increased across the world, inevitably we need to put some structure to continue to deliver this service. Therefore the Industry Partner Programme has been launched. And to further widen the offering Whitedot has divided the program into two levels:
·         Level 1 – Ski instructors, ski guides, ski patrol, avalanche rescue staff
·         Level 2 – Valley floor workers – this is a discretionary sector where an applicant can show his/her employment is in direct support of the winter sports industry to enjoy the benefits of this programme and community.

Nanny Network


I met Lucia at the london ski and snowboard show and thought her services might be useful to you, our Snow Angel Nanny families!

My name is Lucia Borraccino and I am 27 years old and for the past two years I have been running my own company 'Nanny Network' which I set up with no funding and no business experience while I was working as a Nanny.  We connect parents with local childcare and offer a wide range of services from Babysitting to Nannying in London.

Our service is quite different to what is currently available - we offer a very personal and friendly service which is quite a different approach to that of out competitors as we realise that parents need to feel comfortable and supported throughout the process of finding a Nanny especially for first time parents who can be quite nervous. 

I worked previously as a Nanny and so I understand very well that for parents, the right choice of child care is one of the most critical decisions they make. In my role as a Nanny I was there to support the children but inevitably I became a trusted friend to the parents.   I offer this very personal but professional approach to parents because I understand how important the decision is to take on a Nanny to bring up your children and who will work so closely within your home.  For this reason we meet, interview, select and check the references of every Nanny who makes it on to our books and we are very honest with parents about their Nanny choice.   

We have a wide range of Nannies on our books - each with individual talents and we try to match these according to a family's needs for example Nannies who are musical, artistic, sporty or bilingual if this is required by the family.  Employing a Nanny is a very important step and it allows women to continue with their careers after taking a break to have a child.
